Mobiles be afraid, here comes my wife!
When it comes to experience involving my own phone I have nothing recent to put in this week as I no longer have a mobile to use (2 months ago I was notified that I had not topped up in so long the company registered me as dead and cut it off).

Then I remembered that I am married to a woman that goes through roughly one handset every 4 – 6 months due to stupidity. I have a number of broken phone incidents (as does this weeks QOTW so far) but I thought I would start with one that still has me laughing.

After a week where nothing was going right at work my other half realised that I may need cheering up a bit. She decided to get the kids to bed before I got home and knock up some homemade shepherd’s pie and veg so we could eat it in peace with a few glasses of wine.

The plan was going fine and she made the kids their tea of pizza and chips, left the oven on and set about finishing off the pie. While in the midst of preparation she decided to call me to check up on what time I was due to arrive home (This was a few years ago so my mobile actually worked then). After our conversation ended wifey discarded the phone, finished work on the pie and placed it in the oven along with a couple of metal trays we use in the oven (that she had used earlier for holding the kids pizza and chips).

I hope you can see where this is going.

I came home to find my wife upset, she was sat in the kitchen yelling at the aforementioned pizza tray for ruining her life. Turns out that my lovely-but-absent-minded other half had accidentally put her mobile on the metal pizza tray after speaking with me and had put it into the oven below the pie.

It dosent end there.

The tray had also still had the pizza cutter on so the plastic from the cutter had merged with the melted casing from the phone, creating some bizarre looking contraption found in an episode of Doctor Who.

We ended up with a takeaway instead.

I will try and see if I can find the piccys I took of the charred death phone after it cooled down.

I have to say
that in a completely innocent way, your missus sounds bloody fantastic :-)

And here I thought no one could beat my sister's kitchen disaster
She once burned a pot of water. Just put some water on to boil, got distracted and about half an hour later, the smoke alarm went off. Pot was ruined and had to be thrown out. It seems she has competition!

I'd be worried that you're my brother
only we didn't have a smoke alarm when I did that.

Or the time there was peas in the saucepan too or the rice. I use a microwave for all such things now - they have timers and magically turn themselves off.

Ha!
I don't know if I want to see the piccies as I've an excellent mental picture of the pizza/phone hybrid. :)
